Devenish flourished in the Middle Ages as St Mary's Augustinian Priory. The earliest buildings are St Molaise's House and the fine round tower, both with accomplished Romanesque decoration of the 12th century. Teampull Mór, the lower church, dates from the early 13th century with a beautifully moulded south window. St Mary's Augustinian Priory on the hilltop is of the mid 15th and early 16th centuries, with church, tower and small north cloister. In its
graveyard stands an unusual, intricately-carved cross of the mid 15th century
